I like old knives that come with an original patina. Buffed knives; no thanks.

I see you've replaced your pepper-chopper, David!!
Nice to see one livin' the life of a knife!!!
Yeah that old Case has seen better days,however I found it in pretty rough shape. I found it in a house we cleaned out,I moved a full but untied garbage bag and a cigar box fell out. A bunch of odds'n'ends junk fell out along with the Case. It was loose,very dull and had tar all over the blade,I'm fairly certain it was used to cut shingles of all things. I tightened it up and peened the pin,cleaned the gunk off and sharpened it, like most Case knives from the 70's it gets screaming sharp. Rescued literally from the trash.

Case tribal lock and muskrat (pocket worn whiskey bone CV). Interesting, that one area on the muskrat that won't darken any further no matter what I try.

A knife my late Father carried for many years, with plenty of patina, until I persuaded him to retire it and replaced it with something modern that locked and covered the tip when closed...
I've never managed to make out the maker's name, but here are both sides if anyone can put a brand to it.

A nice one spared from the dreaded buffer!

True enough!! Gads!!
It'd just be another shiny, old knife if a buffer got it!!
